Sex makes people happiest

Making love is the most enjoyable human activity, a study has found.

Researchers used text messaging to build up a map of what activities people routinely rated as bringing the most and least happiness to their daily lives and found that sex ranked first in all three categories measured in the survey: Pleasure, meaning and engagement.

Drinking alcohol or partying came second in terms of pleasure but only 10th in terms of meaning, the Daily Mail reported.

Using Facebook and doing housework both ranked low on the happiness scale, according to the study compiled by Carsten Grimm from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.

Feeling sick was lowest rated in terms of pleasure, it revealed.

Grimm used mobile-phone text-messaging to collect data on what people did during the day and how they felt about it, a technique called 'experience sampling'.

“Those who tend to be high on all three orientations to happiness not only score high on life satisfaction, they also tend to have higher experiences of pleasure, meaning, engagement and happiness in their daily lives. This means that being able to seek happiness in different ways may enrich your everyday experience and increase your overall well-being,” he said.

Wait wait, drinking alcohol is a form of pleasure?This survey must be a scam.Too much alcohol harms the body, just like smoking, so i guess you and the MAJORITY of the people who did this survey finds pleasure in deteriorating your body must be "sick" :).

Yep, it doesn't make sense. You know some people claim to like eating nice food? And we all now how bad obesity is. Some people are just plain wrong. There'll be another billy goat gruff along in a minute...

From what i have observed, "most" people who drink alcohol regularly are just leaches who is wasting their life everyday, without a proper job and can`t take care of themselves.That is what alcohol "purpose" is - to self-harm.But some people finds pleasure in harming not only themselves as well as others, thus the people who have participated in this survey are "unsane, leaches and have too much free time to WASTE."

My grandmother was a smoker, gambler and alcoholic throughout all her life.My grandfather and her children was just there for her to leach.She never once went to work.This are all evidences of pests of society.

You got that right Bazz, although not quite in the way you meant it: they've recently put a large number of suits behind bars in this country, for building pyramid schemes that robbed mostly clueless pensioners of their life savings.Called 'finance companies'.

Now if only they would do that for those responsible for the Libor scandal, and the negligent regulators, and lying politicians, we'd be making progress. It really peeves me that an apparently rogue UBS trader has been jailed for 7 years, while his managers and the risk-management execs and senior execs all get off scot-free. Which gives you such a great confidence in the banking ponzi scheme. C'est plutot la meme chose.

Now - you're actually posing a very interesting question here. While on one hand I would not say any food is 'better than sex', I find and found that I eat a lot more often than I had sex when I still had a sex life. And excellent food is about as good as a nice long close cuddle. apples and oranges, I know, but the satisfaction is very high, nevertheless, for someone who can appreciate culinary delights.

And, to come full circle, I find that there are a number of people amongst my NZ friends and acquaintances, past and present, who simply don't care a flying **** for what they're eating. It's just fuel, a bothersome necessary evil that they stuff their gob with several times a day. Doesn't matter if you're serving up factory bread with sprouts or a 4 star 3 course dinner to them.

Isn't that interesting?

The two groups (sex-indifferent and food-indifferent) do not necessarily coincide, but they certainly intersect (puritans!).

I am a Christian but my wife isn't. I have been tortured for the past 3 years with a sexless marriage and have decided to seek what the bible says about marriage and sex, and what to do in this case. Withholding from your husband/ wife is definitely sexual abuse and I found it...

I have a rather unusual problem pleasing my wife, and it is definitely affecting our sex lives. I’m not sure whether this is the most appropriate forum for this topic, but I am desperate and don’t know where else to post this.
